View Full Version : The uselessness of the letter 'K'

After a long reflexion about the uses of the letter 'K' I've decided to declare it officially useless. This conclusion is due to the fact that, in spanish, it sounds way too similar to the letter 'C' (for example, "Carlos" and "Karlos", "carro" and "karro") and, in english, it also sounds way too similar to the letter 'C' and the combination 'Ch' (take "characters" and "karacters", "combat" and "kombat"). So, I propose that we, as an important cyber-community, stop using the letter 'K' inmediately.

For those of you wondering "What about the Kevins in the world? What about the all so convinient 'ok!'?" here is your answer: Chevin and ochey. And, as for the KKK, their name shall change to SRP (Stupid Racist People).

I happen to like the letter "K". More than the "Ch" anyway.

yeah, too lazy to ask someone to change it.

actually, the C is less useful than the K. the only unique thing the C does is the whole Ch thing. everything else it does can be replaced by either the K or S.

Q is more useless than K. People can just write Kwote and Kween instead of Quote and Queen.

Oh, I don't know. I think K is rather useful if you like, Oh I don't know, Knitting, Karate or Kungfoo :(!

'K' isnt useless, Its quite a popular letter in Finnish >_>

My brother's name is Luke. If we changed the k to a c, he would be called Luce. He wouldn't be happy about that, I can tell you. The k should stay.

Q is more useless than K. People can just write Kwote and Kween instead of Quote and Queen.
So if Q=Kw, and K=Ch, Q=Chw?
Chwote and Chween?

Indeed true in some aspects. However it may have been created due to common misinterpretations of two or more C words.

In Malay, Cs are always read as "Ch" and K is read as one would read a C. I don't know what this means for the argument, but it means something.

Actually, I find that K is much more adequate than C. At least K has a consistent sound. We can just change ch to kh and everything will be fine. C is a useless letter, not K. K has the combo Kn, which is awesome.
